The JavaScript string lastIndexOf() method retrieves the position of a char value present in the given string from the last position.
Note: It is similar to indexOf(). The only difference is that lastIndexOf() returns the last index of a match instead of the first.
Syntax 1:
string.lastIndexOf(char)
Syntax 2:
string.lastIndexOf(ch,index)
Syntax 3:
string.lastIndexOf(str)
Syntax 4:
string.lastIndexOf(str,index)
Parameters: char: It represents the specified char like “c”. str: It represents the specified string like “w3spoint”. index: It represents the specified position from where the search has to start.
Return: It will return the position of a char value if a char is present in the string otherwise returns -1.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<script>
var a ="Best tutorial website: w3spoint";
document.write(a.lastIndexOf('e'));
document.write("</br>");
document.write(a.lastIndexOf('e', 2));
document.write("</br>");
document.write(a.lastIndexOf("es"));
document.write("</br>");
document.write(a.lastIndexOf("es", 4));
</script>
</body>
</html>
